NIUCILAGE-HOLDER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 625,517', dated. May23, 1899.

Application filed January 3, 1899. Serial No. 701,030. (No model.)

To r/,Z whom t may oon/corn:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM H. REDING- TON, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State ofIllinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inMucilage-Holders, of which the followingl is a specification.

Myinvention relates to that class of receptacles that are intended tohold a quantity of mucilage, paste, or similar material, together with abrush and means for holding and keeping the brush soft and in propercondition for use.

The principal object of the invention is to provide a simple,economical, and efficient 1n ucilage-bottle.

A further object of the invention is to provide a mucilage-bottle withmeans for holding and keeping a brush in a soft and proper condition foruse.

Other objects will appear from an examination of the drawings and thefollowing description and claims.

The invention consists principally in the combination of a holderportion having a paste-chamber, a water-chamber, and a cover adapted toseal both chambers and hold a brush in the water-chamber.

The invention consists, further, in the combination of a holder portionprovided with a central waterchamber, an annular pastechamber, and acover port-ion provided with a brush-holding chamber and adapted tocover and seal both chambers.

rIhe invention consists, further and finally, in the features,combinations, and details of construction hereinafter described andclaimed.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a vertical sectional elevationof a bottle constructed in accordance with my improvements, taken online l of Fig. 2; Fig. 2, a plan view of the bottle with the coverremoved and looking at it from the top, and Fig. 3 a plan view of thecover looking at it from below.

In the art to which this invention relates it is well known that themucilage or paste brush if left in the paste becomes gummy,disagreeable, and oftentimes unfi tfor use, so that considerable timehas to be spent' in cleaning the brush before it can be used on delicateThe principal object of my-invention therefore is to provide a simple,economical, and efficient bottle which will remove the above objections,all of which will hereinafter be more fully set forth.

In constructing aholderin accordance with my improvements I make abottle proper which is preferably cylindrical and made of' glass orsimilar material and which is provided with a bottom portion A, exteriorwall a, and inner wall a, forming between them an annular paste-chamberB and a central water-chamber B.

It is highly desirable that means be provided for hermetically sealingboth chambers to minimize evaporation of the liquids and when in use tohold the brush Cin the waterchaniber. In order to accomplish thisresult, a cover D is provided, which has threaded engagement with theexterior walls of the bottle and which has a vertical handle or tubularportion d, adapted to hold the handle of the brush. Cushion-rings d andd2, formed of rubber or perforated paper, are interposed between thecover and walls of the bottle to assist the cover in hermeticallysealing the'chambers.

In operation the cover is unscrewed and the brush taken out of thewater-chamber. The surplus water is then scraped off, so as to flow intothe paste-chamber, which will be sufficient to always keep the paste atthe proper consistency. The brush can now be dipped in the mucilage orpaste and applied to the desired object. When through, the brush isreturned to the water-chamber and the cover engaged with the bottle.

The principal advantages of this improved bottle or holder will beapparent from the foregoing and consist in, first, the simplicity andefficiency of the apparatus; second, the minimizing of evaporation, and,third, the holding and keepingof the brush in a clean, soft, and propercondition for use.

I claiml. In au apparatus of the class described, I

IOO

the combination of aholder portion provided with an annularpaste-chamber and a Waterchamber concentric therewith, and a coveradapted to seal both chambers independently and hold a brush in theWater-chamber, the space between said chambers being sn Hicient topermit the brush to be dipped into either at will, substantially asdescribed.

2. In an apparatus of the class described, the combination cfa holderportion provided with an annularpaste-ohamber and a centralwater-chamber, and a cover adapted to seal both chambers independentlyprovided with a vertical chamber in line With the watercharnber to holdthe handle of a brush and keep the brush in the Water-chamber,substantially as described.

3. In an apparatus of the class described, the combination of a holderportion provided with an annular paste-chamber and a centralWater-chamber, a cover adapted to seal both chambers' provided with avertical chamber in line With the Water-chamber to hold the handle of abrush and keep the brush in the water-chamber, and rings of suitablematerial interposed between the cover and the Walls forming the annularand central chambers to hermetically seal the saine, substantiall57 asdescribed.
